The Magic Faraway Tree Gift Edition

Product Information

The first title of the main trilogy, The Enchanted Wood, was published in 1939, although the Faraway Tree and Moon-Face had already made a brief appearance in 1936 in The Yellow Fairy Book. At Enid Blyton Entertainment (owners of the Enid Blyton estate and copyright, and part of Hachette UK), our intention is to keep Enid Blyton’s books and stories at the heart of every childhood, as they have been for generations. The children often enter the wood to climb this Faraway Tree right up to where the Fairy-Tale places are and one place they visited was Rocking Land and it was rather unpleasant because whilst you are there the ground tips up and sideways and you keep falling over. In one story, when the children have rescued The Saucepan Man from a fortress, in the Land of Toys, they almost don't make it.
